Obama, Oprah, media to blame for black mobs

Jesse Lee Peterson is the most courageous, outspoken critic of the "civil rights" establishment in America today. Raised without his father on a plantation near Tuskegee, Alabama, during the Jim Crow era, Peterson has lived a part of America's history few have experienced. After a spiritual transformation, Peterson founded BOND, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to "Rebuilding the Family by Rebuilding the Man." Peterson is also the founder of The BOND Leadership Academy, a private school in Los Angeles. He's a radio talk-show host, speaker and author of "The Antidote." In addition to writing a weekly column for WND, Peterson appears as a media commentator on Fox News Channel, CNN and other national TV and radio networks.

Did you ever imagine that, in America, groups of black thugs would attack unsuspecting whites? Did you ever think the first black president and Oprah Winfrey would encourage division and hatred between races?

In today’s America, that’s the unfortunate reality.

In what many tamely call the “knockout game,” black teenagers target whites to attack them without provocation. The aim is to knock the victim unconscious with one blow. Man, woman, young or old – it doesn’t matter – these thugs do not care.

Authorities have reported violent attacks in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Connecticut and Illinois. There have been at least four recent fatalities.

In New York City, police said they’ve had seven “knockout” incidents this fall. Some of the attackers specifically targeted Jewish people, including an assault on a 78-year-old woman. In New Haven, Conn., police are investigating six attacks in just the past month.

Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia has warned that “knockout game” suspects would face charges ranging from aggravated assault to third-degree murder. “We will catch you. You’ll be prosecuted, and your life will be changed dramatically.”

Despite the facts, mainstream media outlets refuse to truthfully report these black-on-white hate crimes. Some outright call it a “myth.” When the media downplay these crimes or omit the racial component, they put lives at risk. Imagine if whites victimized blacks today. There would be wall-to-wall coverage and President Obama and Oprah would both be on TV condemning it.

How did we get to a point where lawless blacks are able to commit violent crimes and get away with it? More importantly: How can we stop it?

In the early 1960s, President Lyndon B. Johnson began his “War on Poverty,” expanding welfare. In 1965, Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan issued a report “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action” (the Moynihan Report), which concluded that: “The breakdown of the negro family has led to a startling increase in welfare dependency.” Moynihan made the case – as I have – that, in essence, the rise in single-mother households was not due to a lack of jobs but because of moral poverty.

Today, 73 percent of black babies are born to single mothers. According to the CDC, DOJ, DHHS and the US Census Bureau: 63 percent of all youth suicides; 71 percent of pregnant teenagers; 85 percent of all youth in prisons; 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children; and 71 percent of all high-school dropouts come from fatherless homes.

Over the past 23 years, my nonprofit organization, the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, or BOND, has counseled hundreds of single black mothers and their kids. We’ve worked in jails and juvenile detention centers across the U.S. and we have discovered that nine times out of 10 the anger and violence black boys and girls display is inherited from their mothers and grandmothers! Society blames fathers, but most black men are not in the home to pass down their anger. This is the reality we must face to expose the root of black rage.

The pervasive racism in black culture was apparent during the George Zimmerman trial, when the prosecution’s witness, Rachel Jeantel, told the court that in her community the word “cracker” is routinely used to describe a white person.

Hatred for whites is reinforced and encouraged in black movies, hate-filled rap music and by black leaders: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, Barack Obama and even Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah recently stated that white opposition to Barack Obama was rooted in racism and that older whites “just have to die” for racism to diminish.

Oprah has made billions of dollars thanks to white people who watch her shows and buy products she endorses. For her to smear millions of whites as “racist” without proof is despicable.

Her race baiting is akin to Obama accusing the white Cambridge, Mass., police officers of “acting stupidly.” Or when Obama weighed in after the Trayvon Martin shooting and said to highlight the racial factor: “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” Shameful!

First, whites have to get over the fear of being called “racist.” Most whites are terrified of this word and recoil when a black person hurls it at them. Blacks understand the effect this word has, and they use it to shut down honest dialogue about race. This hurts race relations and divides the country like nothing else.

White people must speak out against black racism, no matter where it rears its ugly head. There are a few blacks who have the courage to speak honestly about immorality within the black culture, and whites should work with them to help unite the races with truth.

Most white Americans will not tolerate racism toward blacks from their own family members and friends – but they turn a blind eye to the black racism that’s landing white people in hospitals and morgues. It’s time to speak up, and it’s time to end the racial double standard!
